    File Sync - Remove Files From Hosted SOTI MobiControl Server

    Has anyone been successful in removing files from their MobiControl server that is hosted by SOTI in a method other than manually? I am using two file sync rules to ferry files between two devices. The files do not need to accumulate. They are sent, processed and removed on the receiving device. The first file sync rule moves the files correctly to the hosted server file store and deletes the files from the source once successfully uploaded. Works wonderfully. The second file sync rule copies the files to the destination device, but there is no method for removing the files from the hosted server file store within the rule setup as there was with the first rule due to the direction of file transmission (Server to device). I have already received the standard SOTI technical support response on this which is to go to Global Settings -> File System manager and manually remove the files. This means removing files one at a time from the assigned folder OR deleting the folder and then adding it back (dumps the whole folder contents when folder is deleted). I am canvasing this forum to see if anyone has come up with a neat workaround for the lack of functionality in the file sync rule setup. I would much prefer a method to handle this on a daily basis or per some sort of schedule than to have to manually remove files (time is money).  I have already tried creating a "post sync script" and it will not work. Scripts only function on the end devices and will not affect the hosted server. Please note: the server is hosted by SOTI. It is not a server I loaded MobiControl on that I have any access to whatsoever. I cannot create a batch file or script to perform this as I do not have that type of access to SOTI's Server.

    Can I add secondary deployment server name to devices that didn't connect during the transition phase.

    Hi, I migrated our on-prim MobiControl server to an on-prim cloud service server. I added the new server address as the secondary deployment server in the MobiControl admin application so the devices would connect once the old server was shut down. Some of our sites didn't power on there unused devices as instructed and the secondary/new server address didn't get pushed the those devices. Is there any particular file (PBI.INI) I can edit to reflect the secondary address (new server address) or do I have to wipe MobiControl and re-enroll those devices? These are all old Windows CE devices. Thanks,

    Silent Bitlocker installation

    Hi we are just starting on the journey of locking down our Windows Modern laptops with Mobicontrol. I know how to create MSI's for silent application install but wondered if there is away of firing up Bitlocker when the laptop joins Mobicontrol without it being 'chatty'? Currently the user has to click next, decide where to store the key etc. I want this to be completely silent and as seamless as possible. Can that be done?

    Windows lockdown - change default browser

    Hey everyone, i am currently wondering how i am supposed to change the default browser for the classic lockdown mode for Windows Classic or Windows Modern devices to open URLs. The info box for the lockdown says that the lockdown mode is using the default browser. I have set Google Chrome to the default browser on my device. But when i open the bookmark it opens the bookmark with the lockdown browser and not Google Chrome. And then i get the error message that my browser is not supported and that i have to use other other browsers like chrome,firefox, edge, opera... I found here that you can give an intent to a url. But i saw that it worked (i guess) with android only:https://discussions.soti.net/thread/how-to-change-default-browser/ MC v15.3.3Agent version 15.3.3.45Windows Classic / Windows ModernWindows 10 Pro - latest updates Thanks!

    I've been instructed to create a dummy application - with a cost to do so - in order to enroll Windows 10 Modern. What is the reason behind this and can anyone explain the cost? Is it a one time fee, yearly, monthly etc cost?
